I got a vague email about working in the game industry from careerbuilder I think? Normally I would…read morehave ignored it, because it seemed kind of, I don't know, spammy? On impulse I replied though. BEST decision of my life. It turns out they got me a job working technical support for literally my favorite game developer, who's arguably one of the top gaming/media companies on the planet. Every time I dealt with a Kelly Services Rep, they were super friendly, very professional, and an all around pleasure to work with. I'm hoping soon to get directly hired by the company, as a temp-to-hire, and couldn't be more pleased.

I'm looking for a bookkeeper and am having much better results on Craig's List. The staff is courteous enough but there is follow through with much prodding and then after all these months, I've yet to have one candidate sent to me for an interview. They said it's because candidates are looking for part-time hours or regular 9-5pm hours, and I can understand that, but why can't they return a call when they say they will? Needless to say, after many months of trying to go through them, I will stick with Craig's List. If they could say definitely that they cannot, then I would understand, but to never have my calls returned is rather disappointing.

They really went above and beyond to place me with an awesome company and even went above and beyond for the employer to get me hired on permanently sooner rather than later.

Seriously so pleased with this company and their staff, in particular Carly and Lauren are truly wonderful. I could not be happier with this whole experience.

This review is for the Maryland branch, specifically my recruiter, Brittany. She has truly gone…read moreabove and beyond in helping me secure a job. Brittany is incredibly responsive and proactive, always making sure I'm informed and supported at every step. I recently interviewed and was placed in a position, and she has been consistently checking in through email, text, and even phone calls. Yes, she actually calls to ensure everything is going smoothly! Brittany is also very accommodating. I had an interview scheduled for October 9th but had to reschedule due to illness. Without hesitation, she took care of it for me. On top of that, she sent me a detailed email to help me prepare for the interview, including tips on what questions to ask, how to use the STAR method for answering questions, and even links to my interviewer's LinkedIn profile and the job posting to review. Unlike other recruiting agencies that often leave you to handle everything on your own, Adecco--and Brittany in particular--have been there for me throughout the entire process. I highly recommend both her and Adecco to anyone looking for a job.

Meghan Lavender was absolutely an awesome recruiter. She genuinely cares about the individual that…read moreshe is working with/for.

She never give up on me and has bend over backwards to ensure that she find a good match for me efficiently; she ensure the match is based on my career, and not just my resume. I am very blessed to have Meghan as my recruiter. I cannot say enough good things about her. I hope to be able to keep in contact and hopefully have the opportunity to work with in the future.

I pay attention to the little things. My documents were dealt with efficiently, even when I made a couple of errors. The environment was welcoming and professional.

If you are driving on the same side of the street as the business, the driveway is right after the house. Then pull around back to the parking spaces on the right.

Update: 2 years…read moreafter writing my review, I received a response from the new marketing person (I've also attached a screenshot of what he wrote to me). Feel free to read my last review and see the photos I've attached before reading on. There are many issues with his response, so I'll state them below: 1. If you are not happy with a customer's review, the last thing you should do is threaten them that you'll write a public response as if anything they could say would make it better. While I appreciate the effort to respond to me, 2 years is a little late, and especially if you want to make excuses rather than just apologize (yes, he apologized on behalf of the company, but it doesn't really hold much weight when you choose to do so only after criticizing someone who just plainly didn't have a great experience. And isn't that the point of Yelp, to write about your experience whether good or bad?). I think if you want to respectfully represent your company and respond to a poor review, then the right approach would've been to apologize, state that while I wasn't satisfied you have had many customers who have gotten great job offers thanks to them, etc. You can still try to make yourself sound better even though you have a bad review. But threatening the person who wrote it isn't going to convince the person to take the review down. Speaking of which, how I felt at the time doesn't change, no matter the circumstances, so my review still holds true and I will not take it down. 2. This new employee who wrote the response was not there at the time, so he cannot be sure what happened. I don't know what happened behind the scenes that day and I don't know if he's even sure. I wrote my review a year after meeting Barb because I was enjoying my new job and realized I never wrote about the terrible experience I had while searching for one, so I decided to write my review. So whether he's basing the excuse on when I actually met her, or when I wrote this review, I'm not sure. Barb and I did not talk much, and for it being 3 years since I've met her, I find it hard to believe she remembers me and what was going on at that time. Unless either a) that's how slow business is for them, or b) she can only recall one person who she tried to set up an interview for when the person deserved better. And to his point of maybe they didn't have many great jobs available for me at the time, if that's true, please do not waste my time and try to get me into interviews for low-paying jobs. Find someone who's fresh out of college who needs the experience. Don't waste the time of someone who you know has more experience. And especially don't tell them they can't make their desired salary. That's the thing that really bugged. Both jobs I got an offer for offered above my desired salary, and Barb made me feel as though my expectations were unrealistic and I wasn't worth that. 3. All recruiting agencies are free service for those looking for employment, it does not need to be emphasized. But just because you're free doesn't mean everyone you encounter will like the service you offer them; your free customers still have a right to their opinion. 4. I have sympathy for Barb if that is what she was going through when I emailed her about my job offer. But I find it an odd coincidence that we were corresponding the whole week or two after I met her and she was very quick to respond, but once I emailed her I got a job, she all of a sudden was too busy and possibly lost the email among other emails (when according to him, she was busy the whole time dealing with her loss). I'm not saying it's not true her bother passed. That is probably very much true, and again I sympathize for her, but if she was so busy, then why was she responding quickly when it came to the interview she wanted to set up for me and then she completely disappeared when I responded that I found a job? Seems a little fishy to me and he probably shouldn't have included that in his list of excuses for the poor communication I received. All in all, I'm sure they may have some great jobs either for individuals fresh out of school with no experience, or if you're an individual with specialized skills. But they did not work for me and their response to unhappy clients on Yelp isn't favorable. You can read my reviews and still take a chance on them if you'd like.
